Emergency Ladders

Emergency Ladder and Rescue Equipment Signs

The signs in this category show where ladders and equipment used for evacuation and rescue are located. In an emergency nobody has time to search for the fire ladder or the rescue rope; a sign in the right place saves those seconds.

What Is in This Category?

• Fire ladder signs: red signs showing the ladder used for firefighting.
• Escape and exit ladder signs: green signs showing the ladder used for evacuation.
• Rescue ladder and rescue rope signs: signs marking the location of rescue equipment.
• "Below" signs: signs with an arrow showing the equipment is directly below.
• Photoluminescent square signs: escape ladder, fire brigade ladder window and evacuation chair signs.

How to Choose

Use a sign with a downward arrow when the equipment is in a cabinet or recess, and a plain sign when it is in the open. A photoluminescent finish is recommended for visibility in the dark, and galvanized steel for outdoor use.
